Okay, since I have been following your project all this time there are a few questions that have yet to be answered:
1. Approximate time of completion

2. How many left over and spare parts will you have on hand.

3. Concerning spare parts and upon completion, the scheduling of doing my 88 Verte.

4. I can attain some parts myself however I think you are going to have plenty of extras
to do my 88 verte. I have a list of modifications that we can expound upon after the
the completion of yours.

5. Do you supply a drivable car as you do my mods and if so what kind and what would
my completion date be. I would like something affordable for gas but not a junker.

6. Lastly, since I am financially challenged and do not see a landfall in the immediate
future, instead of cash, would you accept my I.O.U. I assure you it is good! And I did
compliment you on your toes, do you give a discount for all compliments?

I don't mean to rush you however, an immediate answer would be in order so I can make
arrangements for transportation of my vehicle to your shop. It would be nice if you could
come and pick it up. Awaiting anxiously for your reply and my sincerest thoughts.

1. Approximate time of completion

Im giving it about three months, just in time to store it for the winter

2. How many left over and spare parts will you have on hand.

I refurbish most parts so hopefully not to many. Odds are any left over parts will go to my kit cat build

3. Concerning spare parts and upon completion, the scheduling of doing my 88 Verte.

Call my secretary and set ut up

4. I can attain some parts myself however I think you are going to have plenty of extras
to do my 88 verte. I have a list of modifications that we can expound upon after the
the completion of yours.

Not a problem but i only offer a "tilileave" warrenty on my work and parts

5. Do you supply a drivable car as you do my mods and if so what kind and what would
my completion date be. I would like something affordable for gas but not a junker.

Sorry the fiero is on the rotesserie getting a turbo and the wife's van is busy running errands picking up parts for me and supplies for making me samwhiches lol

6. Lastly, since I am financially challenged and do not see a landfall in the immediate
future, instead of cash, would you accept my I.O.U. I assure you it is good! And I did

As far as my toes... How could you not lololol and the I.O.U. Dont let the door hit you in the rear lololololol

I don't mean to rush you however, an immediate answer would be in order so I can make
arrangements for transportation of my vehicle to your shop. It would be nice if you could
come and pick it up. Awaiting anxiously for your reply and my sincerest thoughts.

Great post. Thanks for starting my day off with a smile

I've been following your build, and I am seriously impressed with the fenders. I'm glad there are people who can think outside the box and still make it look good. Well Done. Can't wait to see the finished project.

OK so if you spray your rocker panels with an air nozzle and all the paint blows off... your paint job needed to be redone it did look like a nice paint job when i bought the vette but they obviously didn't take the time to sand and pre-wash before they painted this corvette. i fix and make good
